Vera Lite logs

Is there a way to get access to the full log file on the Vera Lite please? >:(

I can SSH into the device using Putty but when I try to use the FileZilla client, it won’t let me connect.

I’ve had two random issues with the VeraLite this month when devices have just come on when they shouldn’t do and I’d like to look at the logs to see what’s going on. Why have they made it so hard to get acess to the complete log file. I know I can ‘tail’ is using a web browser but that’s no good for older entries.

For Windows machines, lookup a client called [tt]WinSCP[/tt]. It’s a GUI tool over SSH.
For Mac, Linux clients, just use [tt]scp[/tt]

FileZilla appears to use FTP, which Vera doesn’t have.

turn on usb logging and look on the usb stick ?

You can acces the log from your browser http://[your local ip]/cgi-bin/cmh/log.sh?Device=LuaUPnP

I don’t like to use the SSH option to read the logs. Therefore I appreciate the browser based: http://vera.box/cgi-bin/cmh/log.sh?Device=LuaUPnP option.

The only annoying thing is the fact that I cannot scroll back. Is there a solution for the awkward scrolling behaviour?

Opening the log file in your browser(http://[your local ip]/cgi-bin/cmh/log.sh?Device=LuaUPnP). If you are using a windows computer, you can use “Control A” to select all the text. Then use “Control C” to copy the text. Then open Notepad and paste the text there, where you can move around the text without any problems.

I’ll try under windows as well.

Personnaly I do the same as you except that I paste the content into Thunderbird to keep color, it’s a bit more readable.

Have a nice WE.

If I try the above URL http://vera.box/cgi-bin/cmh/log.sh?Device=LuaUPnP, I get a black screen with red letters:

“Error reading from log. Click here to try again.”

And of course nothing after that. Anybody have an idea as to what it means?

I am sure the IP is correct. Have I not setup something properly (log)? I am logged in…

Thanks, Bob (beachboync)

Hi

the URL you use is correct and you do not have to change any setting in VERA
Maybe a browser problem?

Yup, that was it. It worked fine in IE but not in Firebox. Very odd, as the URL was the same, and the message I got was definitely from Vera, not a URL issue such as a 404 error.

But, chalk that up to experience!

OK, good to see that it is working for you.
